It was almost morning
Kai sat on the balcony with his empty bottle as he saw the sunrise slowly. As the light basked his body. He got up ready to go inside the house.
The dark blue sky turned orange covered in sunlight then slowly brighter and brighter, somehow it began to hurt his eyes, the warmth turned to heat, burning pain seethed throughout his body, what was a blissful silence now broken by Kai's agonizing scream, he thrashed around, it felt as every cell of his body was being picked apart one by one as every ant in existence had decided to make him their breakfast while he was thrown into burning oil.
Seconds passed.
Then the pain went as soon as it came.
Blink.
The world churned Kai felt disoriented, he stumbled and fell to his knees he suddenly found himself in a castle which looked as if it held the whispers of war covered in strings of spiders almost ruined except for the glossy black marble and walls.
"what the fuck is this place" Kai mumbled wasting his mental strength which he needed, as soon as he tried to get up sharp pain jolted his brain and thus he pass out. Memories of a life ingrained in his brain as if they were always there.
Kai relived a life of 16 years going through its suffering, emotions and helpless isolation everything a child called Xenos Tyran Louthir lived.
After an unknown amount of time in a ruined castle a man woke up from his not so sweet slumber "I am Kai Edwin not Xenos Louthir and I am royally fucked" so he was.
He was in a game in a fucking game called WORLDS RUIN and guess what? Not a good game to be a character in, that wasn't even the problem he was a throw away villain destined to die in every single play-through and how would I know that glad you asked, well I would thoroughly enjoy killing him in every single play-through ok maybe not thoroughly.
Even now his life depended on whether his loving sociopathic slave would want to save him or not.
"goddamit" only when his life was getting better only when his family was finally back together only when he had landed a good job "why WHY?"Kai shout as if the sadistic bastard who is making him go through this was watching him.
"Should i kill myself" a dangerous thought came to Kai's mind maybe just maybe he could go back but he knew it was just hopeful thinking or maybe he was simply afraid.
He hated it,hated the idea that he would have died in his original world and couldn't return that burning pain entailed something dreadful just the thought of the pain made him shiver.
So he made a silent vow. A promise to go back, back to the world he came from, back to his family only after he makes the being who did this to him go through hell.
So he had to survive whatever bullshit Xenos had put him in. Well technically he was Xenos now. He then finally got up went to the closest window and looked out, two moons pearl white and one red as if smeared in blood trees with twisted branches and still towering up the castle, violet vine covering the castle wall and then he saw the gate collapsed and a horde of corrupts slithering and tossing around the gate.
Corrupts are the creatures of broken world all they do is devour and put restrictions the stronger they are the more the restrictions there was a whole branch of study of them well the ones below were mundane corrupts the weakest of the bunch Sichpara as the people here call them.
Their flesh folded over itself churns with faint yellow bulges pulsing as the bulges themself moved as they slithered with gnarly teeth as if the head was removed from worms with some almost 2 meters tall. The sight of even one made Kai's skin crawl and there were about 16 of them.
"Exactly like in the game" Kai mumbled.
"Yep. I am royally fucked aren't I" he said as his new found motivation was waning at the sight of horrors below. Maybe he should just end it, Now he genuinely considered the option. With sigh he closed the broken window.
Then he began venturing deeper into the castle all he saw was bones barely holding against the passage of time, dried blood, smell of death and darkness only to broken by the moonlight coming from the broken top of castle.
He didn't bother searching for anything valuable as the armor and most weapons would have simply rusted backed by the information that he had played the game before and hadn't gotten anything useful nothing except a wand which was almost broken and even that wasn't worth risking life for.
Now he stood in front of a broken spiral staircase going to the highest room in castle as well the bottom most in case he falls. So he climbed on wall a bit disoriented and a lot more hungry but what could he do but climb.
Finally after some time he reached the top, a room untouched by time dimly lit by a single lantern with bed and shelf besides a table and chair everything in the room was normal except for the fact that a body of a man laid on the floor no blood nothing just a old man with a melancholy expression the man didn't breath had no pulse everything as described in the game.
There it was the wand he was searching for so he took the wand out of the old mans hand offered his prays and studied the wand: it was old almost fragile made of twisting branches which were rotting so it totally had 3 to 4 shots max. He put the wand in his pocket of his jacket.
Ok although he did say the wand wasn't worth risking life it didn't mean he would just abandon it you know.
Then he looked outside again, it was morning he saw a golden hemisphere almost transparent making the city it protected visible moving as if it was liquid shining under the sun.
About 20 kilometers or so there it was Xenos's fathers domain the place where his destination was.
He started climbing down and after sometime maybe it was due fatigue, hungry or maybe he just wasn't used to the body.
He slipped, a small mistake and he went tumbling down he covered the wand trying to protect it, hitting his head against the wall he tried to grab on to the broken stair but to no avail as it only ripped his finger nails off as he continued to spiral down to the bottom most floor.
It hurts.
His head bleed, while skin for his left hand had been torn off all while he was hungry and his whole body ached but he knew it still wasn't the worst.
He got up with groan removed the wand from the jacket, fortunately it had survived.
Kai removed the jacket and torn it with the sharpest rock he could find and used the torn jacket to stop the bleeding from his arm and head at least he tried to.
Fortunately somehow his legs remained uninjured and god forbid if he had go through the forest limping He stood in front of the front gate which had collapsed in on itself and just beyond it was the horde of Sichpara waiting to devour him.
Besides the gate was a door which lead to the kitchen, well to the remains of what resembled a kitchen considering as he opened the door what welcomed him was a rancid smell and here he thought smell of death was bad.
Beyond the kitchen at the end was another door which would be his freedom or death either way he would still be free.
Kai slept hungry, broken and fatigued on the cold floor hoping that tomorrow would be better knowing that it would be worse.
